This book was released on 1977-01-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter focuses on the impact of monetary and fiscal policy under the flexible exchange rates and alternative expectations structures. Several economists have argued that, to understand recent exchange rate movements, one must examine the process by which exchange rate expectations are formulated. In order to describe the influence of exchange rate expectations on the adjustment process, this paper examines a small, open economy's response to either an increase in the money supply or a higher level of debt-financed government spending under the assumption that exchange rate expectations are either rational, semi-rational, or adaptive. It is argued that the economy's response to an increase in the money supply is much more sensitive to the expectations structure than is its response to an increase in government spending. The analysis also shows that, following an increase in the money supply, the exchange rate will overshoot its long term value regardless of the type of expectations structure that exists. The domestic interest rate will be the variable most strongly influenced by the way the private sector formulates its expectations.

Download or read book Exchange Rate Choices with Inflexible Markets and Costly Price Adjustments written by Tara Iyer and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the appropriate choice of an exchange rate regime in agricultural commodity-exporting economies. In an open economy model that incorporates key structural characteristics of agricultural commodity exporters including dual labor markets, the benefits of exchange rate flexibility are shown to depend on the extent of labor and product market development. With developed markets, flexible exchange rates are preferred as they allow for greater relative price fluctuations, which amplify the transmission mechanism of labor reallocation upon commodity price volatility. When labor and product markets are not welldeveloped, however, international relative price adjustments exacerbate currency and factor misalignments. A nominal exchange rate peg, by mitigating relative wage and price fluctuations, increases welfare relative to a float. Given the current low level of labor and product market development across most agricultural commodity exporters, the study provides a counterpoint to conventional arguments in favor of flexible exchange rates and a rationale as to why exchange rate targeting is appropriate in agricultural economies.
